Printable Complete Tracking List - February 2010

Note:

• This is a working list and is constantly revised. Information from the database cannot provide a definitive statement on the presence, absence, or condition of the elements in any given locality, because much of the state has not been specifically or thoroughly surveyed for their occurrence and the conditions at previously surveyed sites are constantly changing. The County Elements Lists should be used as a reference of which elements currently or historically were recorded in the county and should be considered when developing land use plans.
• Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpeckers (Picoides borealis) and American peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus anatum) may occur in any county, if suitable habitat exists.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this list, new records to add to the database, or would like more information, please contact Michael Barbour.
